He was a long time resident of Lewiston, CA, but had lived in the Los Angeles area much of his young life.
He served in the US Army and was a veteran of the Korean War and became a naturalized citizen upon completing his service.
He owned his own construction company until the early 1980's. He then worked as an inspector of Co-Generation Power Plant Construction. In 1991 he was hired by CalTrans and remained employed by them until his retirement 4 years ago.
He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Kathy Taylor Anthonijsz; brothers, Arthur and Rob Anthonijsz and sister, Erna Morris.

Iremember Edwin when he was a baby, babysit him and had to rub his head with aloe vera that his Mom grew in the yard, because he hardly grew hair and the last time I saw him had real nice wafy hair.The very last time when we were on vacation in California we went to Tiowana with April we had a good time. I remember him carrying my heavy statue to the border.I will always remember him and April.

Just heard that Ed passed away. I knew him when he lived in the Los Angeles area. He was nice; he was funny. My condolences go to his family.

I will always remember my Uncle Ed for his keen balance of ambition and humour, and his ability to be just a bit edgy while still remaining practical and polite. It's tough these days to find that kind of a balance, but he maintained it as long as I can remember. Ed was a top-notch guy and I can only hope that when it's my time I can be remembered half as fondly.

I never felt I knew Ed very well because you could never be sure whether he was serious or joking. Most of the time he was joking!
He was a really ambitious guy who could not find enough time in a day to do all he wanted to do.
He was kind, caring and fun. I only wish we had spent more time together.
Sister-in-law, Bonnie Anthonijsz

For the last two years I have been reconnecting with my Uncle Ed. It was wonderful hearing his voice, talking to him about our gardens. How to get my chickens ready for winter.We talked a lot about my 2 kids and how he really wanted to meet them in person. But sadly we missed our chance. He told me he was very proud of me and that he loved me, so I miss him even more now.He is in a happy place now with out pain. He will be missed but not forgotten.

To a great brother, who always teased me.
I will always remember that he told Henry that he didn't have a sister. Quess what,"married to him for 45yrs". He was kind, good hearted and loved our kids.
We will miss you Edwin.
Love,
Erna and Henry Morris

Uncle Edwin was a very special person to many people. He was always joking and living in the moment. We will miss him greatly.
